An automatic grill should do it for you (8)

I believe the answer is:

browning

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'an automatic' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for browning that I've seen before include "Flour for colouring gravy" , "getting a tan" , "Poet - used in gravy" , "He missed the English spring" , "Automatic machine gun" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
